This recipe has been adapted from the original.

I want to share this recipe as it’s simply amazing.

I am an avid baker and this one always makes it to the top. It is flavorful, fulfilling and makes for a healthy breakfast or snack. Everyone loves it and people have been begging for my secret recipe, so here it is!

I have created organic, gluten free and vegan recipes to match different lifestyles, but feel free to mix and match!

General directions for all three versions:

1. Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl.
2. Combine all the wet ingredients in seperate bowl.
3. Mix the wet and the dry ingredients together until batter like.
4. Pour into a greased nine-by-five-by-three-inch loaf pan.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 60ish minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle
